This weekend across the Bailiwick the weather is set to put our animals and wildlife at risk.
Often during the autumn and winter months with the high winds and stormy weather makes it difficult for wild animals and birds to feed and rest.
Also with the high winds we have to ensure our pets and animals kept outside are safe and secure.
The GSPCA are asking those that live around and visit our coast to please watch out for injured animals in need as well as seal pups which can get separated from their mothers at this time of year especially when we see bad weather.

Every year we hear of firework related incidents involving animals and children. While fireworks may be exciting and pretty to look at and its fun to celebrate Guy Fawkes with a bang, we must put our safety and the safety of our pets and the local wildlife first. Over the coming weeks if any schools would like a talk from the GSPCA in an effort to promote the Fire work code and advise people how to keep themselves and their animals safe please do get in touch.
Lorna Prince GSPCA Welfare Manager said "Fireworks this year are being sold between 27th October and 5th November."

At the GSPCA we currently have over 100 domestic birds in our care many of which are ready and looking for loving new homes.
Most are aviary birds and range from quail and finches to a large selection of parakeets.
With just one mixed outdoor aviary housing 60+ small finches and quail, another aviary with nearly 20 cockatiels and a selection of other birds indoors looking for good homes at the GSPCA we have a real selection needing loving new owners.

Last night just after 6pm a group of Brownies called the 4th & 5th Guernsey Vale Brownies arrived at the GSPCA to be shown around the Animal Shelter by GSPCA Volunteer Suzy Rose.
The Brownies were taken around the site and not only got to see many of the 550+ animals at the GSPCA, they were taught about our history and about many of the animals in our care and the challenges we face at the GSPCA 24/7.

Last Thursday a team of staff from Nordben Life and Pension Insurance Co. Limited gave up a day in the office to help out at the GSPCA and they certainly worked extremely hard helping the Shelter in St Andrews.
